is it possible to shut down a windows computer using the voice assistant (or integration)? (≠ disconnect the power supply unit from the power supply using, for example, a mqtt socket)

Look at Hass.Agent. It's an integration/software for controlling windows PCs.

#

one of the options is shutdown

Or the RPC Shutdown add-on on HAOS.

You can also use SSH 🙂
Arguably harder to configure though.

snow matrix Look at `Hass.Agent`. It's an integration/software for controlling windows PCs.

I have now set this up and as a test I have set a “command” (play/pause button from the pc) and a local sensor (the active window), but in ha I am still shown “No devices or entities” for the associated agent. Why?

I guess this has changed a bit since I used it. I guess it can integrate either with MQTT, or it has a dedicated integration, depending on the version.

#

Have you setup either of those integrations?
